Sugary drinks linked to cancer risk

설탕이 든 음료, 암 유발과 관계있다

Consumption of sugary drinks such as soda and fruit juice is linked to a higher risk of developing certain kinds of cancer, researchers reported on Thursday.

탄산음료나 과일주스 같은 단 음료의 섭취가 특정 종류의 암에 걸릴 위험성 증가와 연관이 있다고 한 연구진이 목요일 발표했다.

The consumption of sugary drinks has exploded worldwide in recent decades and the high-calorie beverages have already been associated with an elevated risk of obesity ― itself recognized as a leading cancer risk factor.

A team of researchers in France wanted to assess the associations between heightened consumption of sugar drinks and the risks of overall cancer, as well as several cancer types, including breast, prostate and bowel cancers.

They surveyed more than 100,000 adults, with an average of age of 42, 79 percent of whom were women.

연구진은 10만 명 이상의 성인을 조사했고 이들의 평균 나이는 42세로 79%가 여성이었다.

The participants, who were followed for a maximum of nine years, completed at least two 24-hour on-line validated dietary questionnaires, calculating their daily consumption of sugar and artificially sweetened beverages as well as 100 percent fruit juices.
